Opportunities for Engagement

Take on the challenge.

Students enrolled in Lipscomb’s Honors College have the option to participate in academic research on or off campus, or through international research labs. You will engage in interdisciplinary projects and courses that go deeper than most and expand your understanding of a variety of subjects, issues, systems and schools of thought. Student scholars also have the opportunity to share their research findings publicly at our annual Student Scholar Symposium or at an academic conference.

Serve your community.

Be encouraged to take on leadership roles at Lipscomb that allow you to make a difference within the university community and in the city of Nashville. Serve in the Student Government Association, the Honors College Council, service clubs, social clubs, athletic teams and more. With each role you step into, you will enhance your undergraduate experience and continue to confidently pave your way to a successful future.

Connect with the world.

Participate in field experiences across the Nashville community. Whether you're picnicking with a zookeeper, attending a musical or symphony, white water rafting on nearby rapids or visiting a local Amish community, you'll be seeing the city through the lens of learning. Our planned activity programming, called Honors Connect, will help you better understand the place you live and develop a stronger sense of your own interests and aptitudes.
